==Collection Summary==

The DeGolyer Library is the main repository at Southern Methodist University for primary materials in the humanities, the history of business, and the history of science and technology. Special strengths include the history of the American West, the history of geology, early exploration and travel, and railroad history. Notable research collections include the papers of playwright Horton Foote, sportswriter Blackie Sherrod, retailers Stanley Marcus, Roger Horchow, and J.C. Penney, advertising executive Liener Temerlin, as well as the corporate archives of Texas Instruments, the Muskogee Corporation, the Baldwin Locomotive Works, the Archives of Women of the Southwest, and the John N. Rowe Collection of Texas Bank Notes. DeGolyer Library actively collects books, pamphlets, broadsides, newspapers, magazines, maps, ephemera, manuscripts, prints and photographs. From its beginnings as the private collection of Everette DeGolyer Sr., who started collecting in 1914, the library has grown to include over 125,000 books, 2.5 million manuscripts, and 750,000 photographs. While most of the collection is catalogued online, some records are more descriptive and useful than others. Researchers are advised to consult our web page for information about particular collections and subjects and also to contact our staff. Guides for the manuscript and photograph collections have been published in the past and are constantly being updated and placed on the internet.
